About mindfulness. ~~ What is it that is mindful? Is the sun mindful when it shines onto the vast open hills, onto the peaks of mountains, onto the surface of the ocean? Is the bird mindful when it flies to the bird feeder, when the butterfly flies to the pollen of the nearby flower, when the grasshopper hops in the grass? Is the sunflower mindful as it seeks the sunshine? Is the stream mindful as it flows downstream, as it lays still in the flats of the valley? Who, what is mindful? I-thoughts spin and spin, judging, evaluating, comparing, measuring, seeking, avoiding.... At whose service is the I-thought? Is there really a separate me that needs to improve, that needs to awaken? What if there isnt? What if behind the I-thought curtain, there is no personal self? What if the entire show is this open presence, this wide expanse of being? ... that dances all dances, that rejoices as the wind blowing, that celebrates as the sun shining, as the birds flying by, as the body breathing, as this open field of witnessing ... that has no boundaries and no separation? What if I am this openness, this vastness that appears as all appearances and is limitless and eternal? Why not? In the absence of believing the I-thought ... it surely seems that it is so... It surely seems that I am this vast infinite ocean of bliss and happiness ... seamless and universal ... non-dual presence ... Does it not?
